SPASA

Advisory Working Group: Development of Standards for Sanitation Products

May 1st, 2025

SPASA is calling on dedicated industry professionals to help shape the future of sanitation product standards.

Following feedback from members, concerns have emerged regarding inconsistent output claims, unclear labelling, and product transparency. These discrepancies have the potential to impact consumer trust, product safety, and regulatory compliance.

As the industry’s peak body, SPASA is taking decisive action by establishing an Advisory Working Group to table the opportunity to develop standardised industry practices.

This group will play a critical role in improving the accuracy of chlorine output claims, enhancing labelling clarity, and setting a new benchmark for product transparency and consumer protection.

Key Focus Areas include:

  • Standardised Testing Methods

  • Validation of Claims

  • Promotion of Consumer Education

  • Consideration of Complementary Sanitation Systems

Broader considerations include:

  • Consistent scientific terminology

  • Origin and manufacturing claims

  • Compatibility declarations

  • Alignment with local and international standards

  • Impact on manufacturing costs and marketing

Who Can Participate?

SPASA invites expressions of interest from:

  • Manufacturers of sanitation products

  • Technology experts in water disinfection systems

Your insights can help drive fair competition, strengthen industry integrity, and increase consumer confidence across the pool and spa sector.
